We were recently invited to the Urban Style Network's Spring get-together at the Bailiwick in the Gaslamp area of Downtown San Diego. I was pleasantly surprised by a gorgeous, airy space with lovely marble bar.

The theme was sex in the city, and cupcakes are so passé these days that I thought about some yummy treats that those amazing girls would like, I figured macarons would be a definite, plus the new 'little gems' cookies I've been playing around with, a meyer lemon sugar cookie with a little kiss of royal icing, the perfect size to feel a little less guilty!

We added a delicious trifle, vanilla cake with a sherry soak, mango and lemon cream with a macadamia brittle for crunch.

I can see this being a fun spread for a sweet little wedding, maybe adding a small cake to cut, and putting the trifles in fun glasses!

About Me

Jenny is by training a Medicinal Chemist with a science background. Learning from an early age in her mother’s kitchen in England, she has always loved to bake treats, and after moving to the United States she was missing a taste from home, and looking for a creative outlet, so started creating delicious cakes for her friends. After learning pastry arts from James Foran at Grossmont College , Jenny quickly found cakes were a passion and took lessons with cake artists such as Elise Strauss, Jaqueline Butler (petalsweet cakes) and Lauren Kitchens, to create cakes that she hoped would be as great to look at as they taste.
